Explanation
A fee is money paid for a service, activity, or permission. For example, you pay a fee to join a class, go to a swimming pool, or get a passport. Fees are usually set by schools, clubs, or organisations. They can be small or large depending on the service. For example, “The library charges a small fee for late books.” Understanding fees helps people plan their money and avoid surprises. Fees are part of everyday life in education, travel, health, and other services.
